The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

I decided to do a series of art pieces based on the children's classic show The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I chose to do these with 3rd graders. On this particular art piece we were showing the Grinch stealing various items from the good people of Whoville.

They really seem to have fun picking what the Grinch was snatching. This poor little Whoville family just lost their family pet.

This was a two day project for us. We drew and started coloring on day one and finished on day two. We used Crayola Art sticks on black paper.

While most of this group did candy canes, ornaments and presents they could really get creative with what is going into the bag.

About Me

I am the K-5 art teacher for Elm Grove Elementary in the Hays school district, just outside of Austin, Tx. I am in my 20th year of teaching and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I pretty much have the best job ever! I love experimenting with materials, lessons with Literacy, adding in cultural experiences, as well as studying great artist from the past and present.

Welcome to my art blog. This is meant to be a place for me to document art projects and happenings here at school and sometimes in the district. My hope is that students and their families will visit from time to time and catch up on what is happening in the art room throughout the school year. This is also a place to share with other art teachers and educators. If you visit my page, I would love for you to join and comment on the art pieces. The more, the merrier!!
